This holiday season, join us for a COSTUMED STAGED READING of this delightful play that revisits your favorite Pride and Prejudice characters as they gather for the holidays. The ever-dependable Mary Bennet is growing tired of her role as dutiful middle sister in the face of her siblings' romantic escapades. When the family gathers for Christmas at Pemberley, an unexpected guest sparks Mary's hopes for independence, an intellectual match, and possibly even love. But, is it meant to be?
